Although Real Madrid scored twice from a free-kick by Lu Wenbin, the chances of advancing to the final in the second leg have greatly increased.

However, Chelsea's muscular jungle defence has taken its toll on Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos received another yellow card in the game and will be suspended for the second leg, while Xavi Alonso and Karim Benzema both suffered injuries in a scramble with their opponents.

Although it was not found during the game, the post-match examination revealed that both men had minor injuries and would have to be suspended for at least two games and would not be able to participate in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

As a result, Mourinho's squad is a bit stretched.

On April 21, a league match between the two Champions League semifinals, in the 35th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away, and the sixth Spanish national derby of the season was a more severe test for Real Madrid.

The league points are of course insignificant because Real Madrid are too far ahead of Barcelona.

Real Madrid only need to win one of the remaining league games to win the title early, and Barcelona cannot pose a threat to Real Madrid's league title this season.

The point is that this is the Spanish national derby, and this is a game that cannot be given up.

Even if the opponent is too far behind, you have to step on the opponent again.

And if Real Madrid wins this game, they will win the league three rounds ahead of schedule. Of course, if it is a draw, Real Madrid will also be enough to win the championship in advance.

But in the face of a mortal enemy, if you can win, you will not draw, and if you can win, you will not win a small victory.

It is undoubtedly a great blessing to be able to defeat a sworn enemy on the home turf of a sworn enemy and win the championship early.

Finally, there is another reason, Real Madrid won all of the first five Spanish national derbies of the season.

If this sixth national derby continues to win, Real Madrid will have six Super Cup, Copa del Rey and league kills against Barcelona in one season, not just double.

To be able to leave such a humiliating record of six kills to Barcelona is definitely the dream of every Real Madridian.

Even President Florentino deliberately approached Mourinho before the game and asked Mourinho to win this game, complete the unprecedented record of six kills in a single season against Barcelona and win the league title in advance at the opponent's stadium.

This puts Mourinho under a lot of pressure.

With the next game being the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Mourinho has a hard time deciding.

Fortunately, Barcelona also played the Champions League semi-finals, and lost 1-2 away to Bayern Munich, which is more serious than Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho believes that with no hope of winning the league title, Pep Guardiola should not fight Real Madrid at Camp Nou, but hopes to turn the table in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final and finally win the title.

If there is any other title that Barcelona can compete for this season, it is the Champions League.

As a result, Mourinho is betting that Pep Guardiola will abandon the league and focus on the Champions League.

So, in the 35th round of La Liga away to Barcelona on April 21, Mourinho sent a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

Except for Lu Wenbin, Cristiano Ronaldo, Khedira, Casillas, and Ramos who started, everyone else was rotated.

However, Mourinho made the wrong bet.

Pep Guardiola is a Barcelona-born player, not a halfway coach, and his feelings for Barcelona are different from Mourinho's sanity.

Although he knows that it is a little unwise to fight Real Madrid in the league, Guardiola will not allow his team to be beaten by Real Madrid's humiliating six kills in a single season.

With that record, even if he wins the Champions League, I'm afraid he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Therefore, in this game, Barcelona played its main role and fought hard with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's backline, which rotates most of the teams, is somewhat lacking.

In the 5th minute, Messi was cheered on by the Barcelona fans in the forbidden area, and three people volleyed into the near corner from a small angle, and Barcelona took a 1-0 lead at home.

Fortunately, in the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin also assisted Higuain to score the equalizer with a wonderful pass in the counterattack.

However, the whole Barcelona team really played well today, and of course, there are also reasons why Real Madrid did not play their main role.

In the 33rd minute, Barcelona scored again.

Messi broke through Diarra's defense outside the penalty zone and used a feint to shake off the angle with Ramos, and then assisted the ribs of the big penalty zone, and Villa cut in the back row and scored with a direct shot.

Barcelona took the lead again.

After that, neither side scored again for the rest of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a 2-1 scoreline, with Barcelona temporarily leading by one goal.

Falling behind at half-time was a rare experience for Real Madrid this season.

But Mourinho definitely doesn't want to lose.

Even if you don't talk about the historical feud between the two teams and the pressure on Florentino, the fans, and the media, his own hatred of Barcelona alone will not allow him to lose to Barcelona.

Even if losing this game doesn't affect him to win the league, he doesn't want to lose, he wants to win.

Therefore, at halftime, Mourinho also made a desperate bet and made three substitutions in a row, replacing Pepe, Khedira, and Ozil, who were originally going to stay in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals.

Real Madrid can also be said to have done their best.

After Pepe, Khedira, and Ozil came on the pitch, Real Madrid has changed a lot in both defense and attack.

On the one hand, it is the improvement of personal strength, and on the other hand, the tacit understanding of the main lineup.

In the 53rd minute, Ozil, who had just been replaced, crossed from the side, and Lu Wenbin jumped high in the forbidden area, beat Puyol and Pique to grab the first point, and shook his head to attack the goal.

The ball flew past Valdés' fingertips and into the back of the net.

Lu Wenbin finally got on the scoresheet and equalised for Real Madrid.

Next, Barcelona continued to attack and Real Madrid continued to defend and counterattack, and neither side scored again until the end of the game.

Even if it ends in a draw, Real Madrid will win the title three rounds early on Barcelona's home ground.

The Spanish Football Federation has brought the trophy to the Camp Nou, and Barcelona players and fans definitely don't want to see Real Madrid celebrate with a trophy in their stadium.

Therefore, even if the game was nearing the end, Barcelona did not give up and continued to attack, hoping to beat Real Madrid.

But sometimes it backfires, and when you want to kill your opponent, it is possible that your opponent is also waiting to kill you.

In the 91st minute, the time had entered injury time, Barcelona made a comeback, and Messi dribbled the ball to Real Madrid's forbidden zone.

In front of him are Real Madrid's two central midfielders, Khedira and Diarra.

Approaching the end of the game, Messi also had some mental explosions.

In the face of the interception of Real Madrid's two defensive midfielders, Messi actually wanted to break through.

As a result, Khedira, who was replaced in the second half, made a precise and decisive tackle and shoveled the ball at Messi's feet.
